The struggle for H-1B visa applicants has reached a breaking point, with interview slots becoming nearly impossible to book across India. The only city showing availability is Chennai, leaving thousands in limbo.
Slots Vanish Across Major Cities
Applicants searching for interview dates found no slots at the US consulates in Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Delhi. With only Chennai showing limited availability, many are forced to consider long-distance travel just to secure an appointment.
No Official Updates on New Slots
So far, there has been no clear communication from authorities about when fresh slots might open. The shortage has left visa hopefuls with approved petitions but no way to move forward with interviews.
Applicants Forced to Wait or Travel
Advisories urge applicants to book any available slot, even if it means travelling to another city. For many, this adds extra expense and stress to an already complex process.
Uncertainty Persists for H-1B Holders
Until the US government addresses the imbalance between demand and availability, applicants remain stuck in uncertainty. The shortage highlights the urgent need for better planning and transparent scheduling for H-1B visa interviews in India.
